I’m in complete sweater knitting mode right now. This maybe the reason, no? Being the (mostly) monogamous knitter that I am has helped with the latest project on my needles. Emelie is growing at a steady pace and it won’t be long before I separate for the fronts and back. The construction of this cardi is almost like Audrey. While there are similarities in the two designs, they are quite different and so the knitting has been very enjoyable. Add to that the joy of… Read more »

Thankful
Today, I’m thankful for so much and all you wonderful people are right up there on my list! Happy Thanksgiving from the Great White North!
Reset
I’ve been off the radar for a while. Life happened, computer crashed….yada-yada. It’s time to hit Reset and begin afresh! The summer went by real quick which means….bring on the cool weather knitting! I’m plugging away on my Audrey in Unst (uh-huh, that’s still on the needles), but I want to begin knitting Emelie (Ravelry link) and this year maybe even knit a few woolly Christmas presents. Back with actual knitting content soon – I have to show you the completed sleeve on my… Read more »
Random
I’ve been trying to think of something meaningful to blog about, but all I’ve got is random. But random is better than silent, right? So….I’m craving raspberries ever since I heard the weird but cute Peter MacNicol (a.k.a Larry Fleinhardt) say that the Milky Way must taste like raspberries. The Audrey cardi on my needles is the same color as those delicious berries, which doesn’t make things any easier. I cannot ignore this craving any longer…. and no folks, I… Read more »
Home At Last
The last box is unpacked and everything is in place. But for the life of me I can’t remember where I put the good coffee! As a result, my engines aren’t revving as strong today – decaf just doesn’t cut it for me! We’re finally done with the mammoth task of moving and we survived it. Well, we’re bruised and achy all over, but we’re home!!! Not having internet is a sad.sad.thing. I’ve missed all of the chatter in the… Read more »
Day Trippin’
We drove inland through the Fraser Valley over the long weekend to Harrison Hot Springs. My idea of a good time isn’t sitting in boiling water that smells like rotten eggs. I know that it’s the sulphur in the water that imparts this stink and I read somewhere that the naturally bubbly hot water is good for you…. then again, I read somewhere else that that’s just a myth. I’m sticking to the myth interpretation! Our motivation behind this daytrip… Read more »
Almost There
I love when a project on the needles is almost near completion. It’s the excitement of binding off those last stitches, laying your knitting out flat and thinking, “I made that”! I’m almost at that point on my secret knitting project. As much as I would love to be able to design knitwear (maybe someday), this isn’t my design. I’m doing a test knit for an awesome designer, so be sure to look out for the pattern release of this summery… Read more »
Sneak Peek
All other knitting has been shelved temporarily so that I can devote my time to a secret project that I can’t really talk about on the blog. Here’s a little sneak peek… All will be revealed in due course. My, my…ain’t I cryptic these days!! We opted not to do the road trip this weekend which was a good thing considering that the May long weekend always has busy highways and crowded ferry/border crossings. We stuck around instead and had a… Read more »
Anyway…
This blog is still mostly about knitting, but lately I haven’t said too much about zee kneeting because it would probably be a repeat of the same stuff. Sadly, due to the nature of stockinette, the projects on my needles produce very little blog fodder. A blogging friend said the same thing in her last post. There has been knitting progress though and I’m almost done with the first sleeve on my Geodesic. One more sleeve to go and then this… Read more »
Roadside Sweetness
Yesterday evening, my boy picked these weeds blooms from the wayside for me. Now that’s just sweet! (Though, being his Mama I’m kinda biased!)
